To do this, we introduce the notion of singular metric, which is inspired by the early work of Fischer-Marsden in [18] and Lin-Yuan in [23] for closed manifold. We show that we can prescribe the scalar curvature and the mean curvature simultaneously for generic scalar-flat manifolds with minimal boundary. We also prove some rigidity results for the flat manifolds with totally geodesic boundary.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-08-27T02:38:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C20", "53C21" ], "keywords": [ "scalar curvature", "mean curvature", "deformation", "generic scalar-flat manifolds", "totally geodesic boundary" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
